In-Person Meeting Announcement

Some Marijuana Anonymous Meetings are returning to their first in-person meetings in 15 months. The first meeting in MA District 11 to do so is "Smokeless Sisters" on Tuesday nights. They will resume in-person meetings on July 27th. Watch the meeting schedule on the right for the latest information.

Walking Meditation and Fellowship Hike

Please join the Monday night Conscious Contact MA meeting for our first in-person meditation meeting of the year. It will be an easy hike with 20 minutes of silent walking meditation on Sunday, August 1. We will meet at the Molalla River State Park in Canby, OR at the Cottonwood Trailhead at 11:00 AM and begin the hike at 11:15 AM. 

All Are Welcome! This is an open event and family, friends, kids (who feel comfortable with 20 minutes of silence), and dogs (on leashes) are welcome. 

This is an easy 2.5-mile loop hike with minimal elevation gain of 95 feet that we expect to take just over an hour. We will fellowship most of the time and have 20 minutes of silent walking meditation at some point during the hike.

There are restrooms and a picnic area at the trailhead. Bring water, snacks, and a hat. Go to the following link to find directions and details about the trailhead: Molalla River State Park

MA District 11 Safety Statement

In accordance with the principles of our program we want to create an environment of safety for all members.  We encourage each person here to contribute to fostering a secure and welcoming environment in which our meeting can take place.  As our traditions remind us, the formation and operation of an MA group resides within the group conscience.  Therefore, we ask group members to refrain from any behavior which might compromise another’s safety and recovery.  We caution members from getting involved with newcomers in matters of romance or business.

For concerns or to report safety incidents, please email: safety@madistrict11.org

Mar-Anon website for support and hope for those affected by another's marijuana use

Mar-Anon is a 12-Step program designed specifically for those who are affected by another's marijuana use. Mar-Anon is based on the 12 steps of AA and Al-Anon - steps that have helped to improve the lives of millions of people over many years, people of all faiths or none. We are not a religious group, instead the steps are a path of self-discovery and personal change. The 12 steps here have been adapted for the Mar-Anon program.
